I will be using the Ronin 4D for the first time. Im just curious if any experienced users have setup tips, things to be mindful of or uncommonly know tricks to share about it? Want to have great shoot with such a cool piece of equipment. Thanks in advance!
Always love how how people rig their cameras, so here’s a look at our DJI Ronin 4D! Happy to answer any questions…
can someone please help me to fix this issue idk if it’s the lense damage or the focus lidar
I put my 4D on my movmax car mount the other day and it would run for less than a minute before saying that it was overheating and I needed to stop recording. I have shot it off the car many times without an issue for over 30 minutes at a time for an interview.
Has anyone seen this before? I can’t see how this has anything to do with mounting on the car. It wasn’t particularly hot and there was clearly wind going over the camera so it was very cool.
Just bought the 8k and only have the 17-28 DL-mount but have seen conflicting reviews whether E-mount or L-mount works best. Considerations:
- resale: investing in DL mount lenses seems like a poor choice. It's a small ecosystem and selling later seems problematic
- lens swapping: I know that if it's time-consuming/finicky to change a lens (with mount+lidar+calibration etc) I'll probably just leave the one I have on and "deal with it"
- general compatibility: I've heard L-mount can work natively eliminating the need for a focus motor. I've seen lots of reports of focus hunting or unreliable AF on some lenses
- character: DJI lenses seem a bit pricey for what they are. The Viltrox set looks like a decent budget option but apparently also "get the job done" without a ton of character
- price: looking to spend somewhere between $1200-$1800 CAD per lens ($900-$1300 USD)
The general plan is to keep the 17-28 for now and add a 50mm + something in the 70-85 range for now but down the road I'd love to just commit to one mount if there is a "best" choice. Any help would be HUUUUGELY appreciated! 🙏🙏🙏
Good options I've seem come up a few times: sigma art series lenses but some need counterweight (not sure how annoying that is), Panasonic f/1.8 Series, Thypoch Simera series but open to other options based on others' experience!
